Letters Patent No. 66,760, dated July 16, 1867.

IMPROVEMENT IN CARRIAGE-CURTAIN BUTTON-HOLES.

Ti) ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, EDWIN L. YA NCEY, of Utica, in the county of Oneida, and State of New York, have inventedcertain new and useful improvements in Carriage-Curtain Button-Hole; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and complete description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making part of this specification, in which Figure 1 is anoutside view of the button-hole.

Figure 2, a view of the inside.

Figure 3 is a detached section.

Like letters refer to like part in the different views.

This button-hole consists of two metallic plates, A B, figs. 1 and 2, of which A is the outside plate, and B the inside one. In the two plates is cut the round button-hole C, 2, through which the head of the button is made to pass. I), 1, is a slide, in which is cut an oblong square hole, E. This slide is made to move up and down on the face of the plate in guide-stays F, formed by bending over and down the edge of the. plate on which it slides. This plntc is also formed with long, pointed arms G, fig. 3, projected from each side or corner, and by which the two plates are secured to each other and to the curtain, asfollows The plate B, which is simply a plain oblong square piece, is laid upon the inside of the curtain on the lining H. The plate A is then placed upon the outside, on the leather 1, the sharp-pointed arms being thrust through the curtain thus bringing the two plates together, with the curtain between them, and which are in this position secured to each other and to the curtain by bending down or clinching the arms across the ends of the plate B, as shown in fig. 2, thus making a secure and durable attachment of the buttonto the curtain. The hole is now ready for the reception of the button, which, on being inserted, the slide D is then pushed down, bringing the notch or slot E across the neck of the button, thus preventing it from being pulled out from the hole,and whichcan only be done by pushing up the slide, and thus leaving the hole free for unbuttoning.

What I claim as my improvement, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is'- The plates-A. B, arms G, and slide D, as arranged in combination with the curtain I, for the purpose and in the manner as set forth. h
